32,000 death cases could be prevented if there were proper equipment in Hungary

Though the health rates of the population are becoming better, the differences due to regional and educational situation are huge, and Hungary is dragging behind in many fields compared to the other EU states. 

According to vg.hu’s article, 26 percent of the deaths (approximately 32,000 cases) could be prevented in 2014 if there were proper equipment and better healthcare system, based on the date of National Healthcare Services Center (ÁEEK). The Hungarian health status rates are far below the level of most EU member states, despite the recent increase in this field.

Hungary has a higher than average death rate in connection to such diseases like cardiovascular illnesses, several types of tumors in case of women (cervix, breast, larynx, trachea, bronchial and lung cancer), and colon and rectum cancer in case of men. The lag is increasing in the field of respiratory diseases in both sexes, as well as deaths related to mental illnesses and behavioral deficits.

The most frequent causes of death are the cardiovascular diseases and cancers, as most of the deaths of people under 65 die of malignant tumor. In the case of deaths connected to ischemic heart illnesses, Hungary is the 26^th in the EU out of the 28, and it is the laggard in malignant tumor deaths.
